Coming into the city for an assessment
Periodontics for West St. Paul Residents
West St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, so it helps to know what a first gum visit involves before you set out for our clinic on McPhillips Street.

Making one trip work harder
A little preparation gets more out of your first appointment.
When a dental appointment means coming into Winnipeg, you will want it to answer as much as possible. A periodontal assessment covers a lot of ground: your history, measurements around each tooth, and images where appropriate. Having your medicine list, questions and any past dental information with you can save a follow-up call or a return trip for something simple.
What a single visit can settle is limited, however. Treatment is planned from what the exam reveals, and that plan could involve more appointments. West St. Paul residents can use the first visit to our McPhillips Street clinic to ask how many trips might be involved and how long each is likely to take.

Ask our teamWhat should I bring to a first gum assessment?
A list of your medications is the most useful, along with details of your health conditions and past dental treatment. Add your written questions so nothing gets forgotten.
Can my dental records be sent ahead?
Ask when the clinic responds to your request. You can find out then whether earlier notes or recent images would be useful, and how they could reach the clinic.
How long will my first visit take?
Ask when your time is being arranged, especially if you need to plan your day around coming into Winnipeg. The answer can depend on what the visit needs to cover.
Could treatment start the same trip as my assessment?
Do not count on it when planning. Recommendations come from your findings, so ask the clinic in advance what your first visit will and will not include.
How often would I have to come back?
That varies widely. Active care depends on how many areas are affected, while maintenance intervals rest on your history, stability and risk rather than a standard calendar.
What is the way to arrange all this from West St. Paul?
Phone (204) 338-3003, or complete the form with a note about your planning questions. The clinic replies to line up a time. Call rather than write about severe pain or fast swelling.
